Part 11
Day 1 after Neil left Mini at her house.
“Arre Mini, stop. Have your breakfast first.” Ashok reminded his over excited daughter who was back in her masti mood and in her old avtar i.e. T shirt, lose fitting jeans and cap.
“No papa, all my friends have come. I will be late. I am going with them and will return only in evening. I’ll eat later.” Mini shouted before grabbing her cricket bat and running out of her house.
“But Neil told me that your music teacher will come in afternoon. You’ll miss your class. Please return on time.” Ashok reminded her again.
“Offo papa. I don’t want to attend any class. It was just for time pass as I didn’t have anything to do there. But now I am back and here I will not get any time for all that. Aap guruji ko mana kar dena aane ke liye.” Mini replied and ran out not giving any chance to Ashok to say anything further.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 3
“Hold on your horses. I wont let you go out without eating anything today. Yesterday also you return only in late evening. And I talked with your guruji yesterday. He said its not good to miss your practice sessions for your singing. So I have asked him to come in the evening today. Please make sure to come on time.” Ashok said as he served breakfast to Mini.
“papa, itne dino baad toh mujhe masti karne ka mauka mila hai friends ke sath. Yaha mujhe rokne tokne wala koi nahi hai. So I will do whatever makes me happy. Please don’t stop me.” Mini replied as she gobbled her food.
“But Mini, listen to me…” Ashok tried to explain. “Wait for me guys, I am coming.” Mini didn’t let him complete and ran out when she heard her friends calling her name.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 5
“Let’s not play cricket today. I am bored. Lets go to river side and play there.” Mini gave idea and instantly all her friends agreed.
“Ok, enough for now. I am tired today and hungry also. So lets go back to home.” Mini suggested after few hours around afternoon.
“What? Back to home…so soon. No way, Lets be here till evening.” Montu replied not liking the idea to go back so soon.
“Hmm, then you guys carry on. I really don’t feel like playing anymore today so I am going back.” Mini replied. She didn’t know why but she was bored today. Since few days she is playing with her friends just like old times and also enjoying but don’t know why she is feeling bit out of place suddenly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 7
“Come on yaar Mini, where is your focus. You missed the simple catch.” Chhotu shouted.
“My focus is on the game. You didn’t bowl nicely.” Mini shouted back.
After another few minutes she again misfield due to which their team lost the match. “Kya yaar Mini, ever since you have got married, you have lost your touch. We lost this match because of you only.” Montu commented.
“Shut up Montu! None of you have played well. Don’t blame it on me.” Mini replied and went back to her home stomping her feet angrily. She had shouted on Montu but he was right in a way. Today she was not herself. She tried but was losing her focus again and again. Don’t know why but she was remembering Oberoi mansion and Neil and even Shakuntala.
“Come on Mini, its ok. Don’t be so harsh to yourself. You have spend many days there…so what if you are missing being there in that house. You will be fine by tomorrow.” Mini tried to explain herself.
“But you didn’t like that house and you hate that budhiya then why…?” a small voice asked from a corner of her heart and she didn’t have any answer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 9
“Mini, come lets play.” Chhotu shouted from outside the house.
“No you guys go. I am not in a mood.” Mini replied while lying on her bed.
“Are you upset because of that day's fight. Come on forget about it and join us.” Chhotu tried to persuade her.
“No, you guys go. I don’t feel like going outside.” Mini replied. Her friends left without her.
Mini stood up and came out in the courtyard. She was restless. No matter how much she tried but she couldn’t focus on anything. The memories of time spent in Oberoi mansion whether good or bad kept coming and disturbing her. She looked here and there, desperately trying to find out something to keep herself busy when small flower bed in their courtyard caught her attention. Most of the plants got shriveled due to lack of care. Mini smiled looking at them as she remembered how Neil use to take care of plants in their garden.
Suddenly with new found energy and motivation Mini picked up the gardening tools and decided to take care of plants.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 12
“Papa, can you call guruji today. I want to resume my classes.” Mini said to Ashok.
“What? Ye chamatkar kaise ho gaya. Aaj tumhe apne friends ke sath khelne nahi jana?” Ashok asked as he served her one more aloo paratha for breakfast.”
“I gave it a thought, what you were saying was right, I should not miss my practice sessions. And I will go with friends after that.”Mini replied while averting her eyes.
Ashok saw her hesitation but he didn’t probe it further as he was thankful that her daughter took right decision.
In evening she was returning home when one of her friend stopped her, “What happened? Aaj bhi itni jaldi wapas ja rahi ho.”
“Yes, actually some guest are coming in my house and papa has warned me to return on time to welcome them.” Mini lied as she continued walking. She didn’t know why but she doesn’t enjoy playing with friends that much now a days. First two three days it was fine, She was in fact excited about it but don’t know what happened suddenly. Now nothing interests her even if she tries hard. All she wants to do is either sing all day or do gardening or just…just..cry…yes she has been crying herself to sleep since two days and what troubling her more was that she didn’t even know the reason for it. When the day ends and she comes in the confines of her room, her eyes start moistening on their own.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 15
“Papa, see I have made you sandwiches for breakfast.” Mini was excited to serve breakfast to her father.
Ashok kept looking at her shock, “Mini, are you alright?”Ashok checked her temperature. “I am ok papa, you sit and eat this and tell me how it is?” Mini asked as she placed two sandwiches in plate. Ashok was shocked again as he tasted the sandwiches and it was tasty.
“Its delicious. From where you learned to make this?” Ashok asked as he took another bite. “Wo…budhiya…oops I mean babes, I mean Neil’s maa. She taught me.” Mini replied as she smiled sheepishly.
The sudden mention of babes again again took her back to the days she spent in Oberoi mansion. Their argument, funny banter and teasing; all kept coming in her mind and her lips curved in smile.
“Mini, are you not coming today also?” Montu asked from outside of her house. “Yes, you guys carry on. I have some work. I wont be able to come.” Mini shouted back.
“I am seeing you are not going with your friends to play since few days. Why is that?” Ashok asked in concern.
“I don’t know papa. I don’t feel like going. I don’t enjoy playing now a days.” Mini replied as she played with the corner of her dupatta.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 20
“Naeem bi, can you please come here for few days. I am worried for Mini. Can you look after her?” Ashok said over phone to Naeem bi.
“What happened Ashok? Is everything alright?” Naeem bi asked.
“Neil has gone to Delhi for MBA and Mini decided to live here till then. Everything was fine for first few days but now she doesn’t seem to be herself. Hamesha khoyi khoyi rehti hai. Friends ke sath cricket khelna bhi chhod diya hai. I tried to ask many times but she didn’t tell me anything.When I tried to ask more questions; she started crying and ran inside her room. All day she keeps herself busy in singing classes or gardening or cooking. She seems calm from outside but seems like a whole storm is there in her mind and she is not sharing it with me. She is a girl after all, may be she is hesitating with me. Please come Naeem bi, for some days at least. You talk to her, I am sure she will share her worries with you.” Ashok explained over phone.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naeem bi came after some days. She also observed that Mini has changed a lot. She was no longer that little miscreant and prankster who used to give headache to Ashok and her but she has now become this quiet, reserved girl, lost in her own thoughts. She tried to communicate on more than one occasions but Mini just made excuses to avoid the topic.
“Mini, today Preet came to invite you for her engagement. So you have to go in the evening.” Naeem bi informed. “I don’t want to go anywhere.”Mini replied as she remembered Preet was the first girl Neil went to meet for marriage. The memory brought the smile on her lips as she remembered how she left him dumbfounded there but somewhere inside her heart she felt a pang of jealousy from Preet. “But she is your friend and lives in same colony so you should go there.” Naeem bi explained. Mini gave it a thought then agreed chiding herself mentally for being unreasonably jealous of Preet.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mini was in Preet’s house. After engagement everyone was congratulating her. Some friends brought her in her room for some girly talks and chitchats. Mini also joined them.
“So Preet, we heard that your fiance was totally besotted by you and agreed instantly for the marriage. Come on share your feelings with us. How it feels to be loved by someone?” one friend asked. Preet blushed and tried to avoid the topic but on the insistence of friends she shared her experience, “Well, it’s a wonderful feeling. When he says that he loves me, I feel my heart does a somersault and when he touches me I get goosebumps.”
“Omg! Means he has touched you? Tell us the details baby.What did he do? Did he kiss you or you guys went a step ahead and made out?”another over excited friend asked. “Oh..nothing….we did nothing…sachhi.” Preet panicked at being caught red handed. “Don’t try to cover up now. Tell us na…its just us friends.” Another friend encouraged Preet. Preet hit her own head lightly and scolded herself for slipping details out. Mini was listening all this and she suddenly became interested in Preet’s answers as she realized she was feeling the same way for Neil.
“Actually, he called me outside on the pretext of shopping and we spent some time alone. That day he…kissed me.” Preet said and hide her face with her palms. “How was the feeling? Did you like it? Did you felt electric current running in your veins? Were you not scared of him? Were you not nervous?” Mini fired many questions in one breath before anyone could ask anything. All the girls turned to look at her with shock and then started laughing.
“Lo dekho ye sab kaun puchh raha hai. Arre Mini ye sab questions hum nasamjho ke liye hi rehne do waise bhi tum to ab experience holder ho. Tumne toh kiss ke aage bhi bahut kuch kiya hoga.” One girl teased her. Mini’s cheek turned red in embarrassment. “Shut up, I have asked Preet so let her answer.” Mini bounced back after few seconds.
“Hmm, sach bataun toh pehle phele mujhe dar lagta tha jab wo mere pas aane ki koshish karte the but there was an undeniable attraction and pull between us which I liked too. Soon after some meetings when I started to trust him, I allowed the closeness and to be honest I was hell nervous when he was trying to kiss me but then he spoke those magical words, “I love you” and I decided to put my fears and doubt back of my mind and go with the flow.” Preet replied while blushing profusely.
“How was it then?” another friend asked excitedly. Mini was listening all this with full attention. “It was amazing. My first ever kiss. It couldn’t be anymore perfect. That moment was very special.” Preet replied and Mini couldn’t stop herself from smiling when she saw pink glow on Preet’s face.
Now she wished she shouldn’t have pushed Neil away from her when he tried to kiss her. She missed that blissful feeling Preet was talking about and she realized that how hurt Neil must have felt by her behavior. She should have trusted him and gave him a chance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naeem bi saw Mini was busy in gardening. She joined her. “So how was the engagement ceremony?” Naeem bi asked to start conversation. “It was good. Preet is happy. We talked a lot.” Mini replied while pruning the plants.
“Chalo kisi baat se to tumhe khushi mili nahi to itne dino se to tum muh fulaye baithi ho.” Naeem bi mocked her. “No, its nothing like that…”Mini tried to explain. “Then tell me whatever it is my child. Whats bothering you? I am here for you. Please share with me.” Naeem bi put her hand on Mini’s head affectionately. “Naeem bi, I was just…I..” Mini began but couldn’t complete as she started to cry again. Naeem bi hugged her and patted her back. Mini hugged her and for the first time in many days didn’t wiped her tears but let them flow freely without any restriction. After sometime she felt light and relaxed.
“Naeem bi, I didn’t want to get married first and I hated the idea of leaving my home and going to some stranger’s house. Then Neil’s maa there, she was so strict and she used to scold me every now and then for small things. And on the top of that Neil…I was confused over the new feelings and relationship. I hated all that. When Neil left me here I was very happy that I will get my old life back again but now…now everything has changed. I don’t find joy in playing with friends, this house seems alien to me. All the things I used to love have suddenly become most boring things in the world. I miss being there…I miss everything about Oberoi mansion. I miss babes…I miss Neil. I am so confused, why this is happening with me?” Mini pour out her feelings.
Naeem bi smiled at her, “Allah maari, ye toh har ladki ke sath hota hai. Mayka kitna hi pyara kyu na ho shadi ke baad paraya hi lagne lagta hai.” “But why?” Mini asked in confusion. “Because once you fall in love with your life partner you start to love all the things related to him and consider them as your own.” Naeem bi answered.
“WHAT! Love? No, I don’t love Neil.” Mini was quick to answer. “You do, may be you are not ready to accept but somewhere in your heart he has made his place. I can see that very clearly. That’s why you are missing being with him, his house, his mother, him, your life there.” Naeem bi elaborated.
Mini was not convinced yet. She was about to argue further when care taker of the mango farm Satpal kaka saw her in the courtyard and greeted her. “How are you chhoti malkin?” Mini ran towards the gate to greet him. She was happy to see someone from “her” house. “I am fine Satpal kaka. How are you and everyone at home?” Mini asked. “Tumhare bina ghar ki ronak hi chali gayi hai. Neil baba aur tum the to badi malkin ka bhi mann laga rehta tha par ab toh wo bhi….” Satpal kaka said then sighed dejectedly.
“What happened to her?” Mini become worried for her babes. “She is sick from some days. Have given leave to most of the servants. She does all the work by herself and not even taking medicines on time. She has even forbidden us from telling anything to Neil baba as she doesn’t want to disturb him. I am worried for her…aise hi chalta raha to unki tabiyat aur kharab ho jayegi.” Satpal informed.
“What? Babes is sick and why nobody told me. Naeem bi, I want to go back. Please pack my bags.” Mini said and Naeem bi was more than happy to help.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shakuntala was sitting in the garden and reading and signing some official documents when she suddenly started coughing. Pen and papers fell from her hands as she tried to stand up to get water for herself. She lost her balance and was about to fall when two arms caught her and steadied her.
“Chorni, tu?” Shakuntala said when she saw Mini was her helper. “Yes its me babes. Aapko kya laga? Peechha chhut gaya mujhse. Itni asaani se nahi chhodungi.” Mini teased her. She waited for Shakuntala’s equally caustic reply but she was surprised when Shakuntala hugged her. “Ab jakar tujhe meri yaad aayi hai. Itne din kyu laga diye wapas aane mein. Tere sath ladai karne ki, nok jhok ki aadat ho gayi hai. Tu nahi thi toh ghar kitna soona ho gaya tha.”
Mini also hugged her and the pair of mother-daughter in law cried for sometime. “Sorry babes…oops sorry maa for leaving you alone.” Mini held her ears. “Rehne de, tere muh se babes hi achha lagta hai. Waise bhi ek tarah se dekha jaye to babes ka matlab bhi to maa hi hai, as in short for ‘bebe’ in Punjabi. Aur maine bhi bahut der laga di tujhe apni beti maanne mein. Hamesha tujhme bahu ko dekha, ye yaad rakha ki tu meri pasand nahi hai. Kabhi ye nahi socha ki mera beta kitna khush hai tujhse shadi karke. I always wanted a daughter but when I got you I just messed it up. I am sorry for that.” Shakuntala now held her ears.
“Even I have yearned for a mother’s love but when I got you I just fought with you every chance I got.” Mini confessed. “Just stop it now. No more misunderstandings between us from now on.” Shakuntala said and Mini nodded. Mini took her inside and made her have the medicines.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The moment mother-daughter in law duo became mother and daughter, the difference of opinion, complaints, misunderstandings almost vanished between them. Mini took care of her and Shakuntala showered her love and blessings over her. Since Shakuntala was sick Mini volunteered for taking all her responsibilities and Shakuntala supervised her in all the tasks happily. Days passed by and in less than 3 months Mini become a completely responsible daughter in law on which Shakuntala was proud of.
Ashok and Naeem bi came to meet her in Oberoi mansion.. Both Ashok and Naeem bi were stunned to see Mini. She was wearing designer saree, her hair neatly tied in high bun. She was wearing matching earrings and bangles. She was busy giving instructions to some servants for today’s work. She was no more their jhalli, jungli, uncouth girl but seemed a sophisticated daughter in law of elite family. The frown was replaced by confident smile, the aloofness replaced by warmth. They were thankful to the Shakuntala for grooming their daughter.
Mini ran towards her papa and Naeem bi excitedly when she spotted them. It was only then they got a glimpse of their jhalli. Shakuntala also welcomed them and asked them to stay for lunch. They got further surprised when Mini cooked all the delicacies all by herself. “Aree tum toh ekdum perfect ho gayi ho.” Ashok praised her. “Hogi kaise nahi? Lagatar teen din se yahi sari dishes bana rahi hai?” Shakuntala revealed a little secret.
“What? From three days, same items.” Naeem bi asked curiously. “Actually everything is Neil’s favorite. She was pestering me to teach her all this and since then she is making it repeatedly to achieve perfection.” Shakuntala revealed the reason and Mini cheeks turned pink. Ashok and Naeem bi left after sometime. They were tension free now as their daughter was happy in her world.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Mini, your guruji has come.” Shakuntala informed her. Mini came downstairs to attend her class. “Today we will learn about ‘ Ras and Bhav’ the most prominent among them is shringar ras and prem bhav. I want to know your range in this so first you sing any song of your choice on this theme then we will work on your mistakes.” Guruji told her.
Mini nodded and closed her eyes. She searched inside her heart to pick up the song and rhythm. She remembered the last few months of her life and how she has changed, her feelings, everything has changed. She remembered Neil confessing his love and the song started in her heart to describe her state. She gave words to the old melody-
rajaneegandhaa fool tumhaare, mahake yoo hee jeewan mein
yoo hee mahake preet piyaa kee mere anuraagee man mein
aadhikaar ye jab se saajan kaa har dhadakan par maanaa maine
mai jab se un ke saath bandhee, ye bhed tabhee jaanaa maine
kitanaa sukh hain bandhan mein
har pal meree in aakhon mein bas rahate hain sapane un ke
man kahataa hain main rangon kee, yek pyaar bharee badalee ban ke
barasoo un ke aangan mein
rajaneegandhaa fool tumhaare, mahake yoo hee jeewan mein
yoo hee mahake pareet piyaa kee mere anuraagee man mein
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
